| 2321 | His wife Ann is a widow in the 1851 Census. | OATS Thomas (I38691)
|
| 2322 | His wife, Rose Mary McGINTY, was unfortunately the victim of murder on 2 Apr 1891. The perpetrator of that crime was one John FINNIGAN who was sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment with hard labour. FINNIGAN was released on 9 Dec 1907 with remissions for good behaviour etc. (Ref. VPRS 515/44/p.390, Prisoner No. 24701) At the time of this tragic event Henry Thomas SUMNER was in gaol serving a sentence for counterfeiting of half-crown coins. According to newspaper accounts of the murder and trial five of the six children had been placed into the care of the Department of Neglected Children prior to the death of their mother, presumably on the conviction of their father for coining. Set out below are extracts from the criminal record books relating to Henry Thomas. VPRS 10858/25/p.254, Description of Prisoners, Prisoner No..23012, Date of Admission..23 Dec. 1890, Name..Henry Sumner, Date of Birth.. 1858[?], Height..5' 5 1/2", Complexion..Fresh, Hair..Light Brown, Eyes..Light Grey, Nose..Prominent, Mouth..Medium, Eyebrows..Light, Visage..Oval, Forehead..Medium, Weight..11 stone, Build..Medium, Age..32, Native Place..England, Trade..Plasterer, Religion..C of E.

Sumner living at Earl of Zetland Hotel, Swanston St., Melbourne, Per.. "Parramatta" from London to Sydney in 1876, to Victoria in 1877. 1 Mar 1889, 6 months in default of bail, threatening. 6 Aug 1889, 14 days cumulative, resisting constable. 6 Aug 1889, 3 months, obscene language. 7 Apr 1890, 1 month, assault. 5 Nov 1890, 5 days solitary confinement, unlawful assault. 5 Nov 1890, 3 days cumulative, resisting police. 5 Nov 1890, 12 months in default of bail, threatening. VPRS 515/41 Melbourne Gaol, 18 Mar 1889, to freedom by bail. Melbourne Gaol, 12 Nov 1890, to freedom by bail. Melbourne Gaol, 15 Dec 1890, 2 February, 1891, having an article improperly, 2 days close confinement on 1/2 rations. Pentridge Gaol, 23 Dec 1890, 4 January, 1892, having a knife improperly, 24 hours solitary confinement. Pentridge Gaol, 28 Jun 1892, disorderly conduct, 3 days solitary confinement. Pentridge Gaol, 22 Jul 1892, to freedom by remission. The second to last entry on his criminal record is as follows: 28/6/96, Disorderly Conduct, 3 days sol conf cum [solitary confinement cumulative] ed. The puzzling thing about this entry is that it is long after his confinement in Pentridge Prison and about 5 months before his demise on 15 Nov 1896. Perhaps he took some leave from his labouring employment at Rutherglen and journeyed to Melbourne and fell off the wagon and drank too much, with predictable results. ____ At his trial for counterfeiting, crown evidence was given against him by both his eldest son Charles Henry Joseph SUMNER, and eldest daughter Alice Rose SUMNER. Charles showed the police the hiding place used by his father for some of his plaster moulds. These reports also relate the fact that the marriage of Henry and Rose was strongly opposed by her parents (Joseph and Alice McGINTY). It is even stated that they took legal action in an attempt to secure an annulment of the marriage, presumably on the grounds of the age of Rose (18) or the fact that she married outside the Roman Catholic faith.

| 2346 | In 1891, Nathan visited his brother, William, in Orono IA as the following article appeared in a local Orono newspaper where William was living: "Mr. Nathan Walter, Iowa, brother of William Walter of this town and a former old resident, is here on a visit after an absence of 42 years. Mr. Walter fought in the army of the Potomac under General Grant in the American War." He sustained injuries when his horse fell on him and he had to file a petition to receive a pension. | WALTERS Nathan Charles (I3309)

| 2347 | In 1901, about 3300 monuments including the one belonging to John James WESTWOOD were moved to a 25 acre site bounded by Bunnerong Road, La Perouse and the existing Botany Cemetery. The headstone is believed to have been in the Church of England section which is located close to Bunnerong Road. A transcription of the headstone is set out below: "John WESTWOOD, Sergeant of the 99th. Regt., died 25th. of May 1845, aged 38 years. Stone erected by his brother NCOs." Unfortunately, the headstone has not survived to the present day [1988] as friends visiting Sydney have looked for it without success. The ravages of time and particularly motor vehicle exhaust fumes are thought to have done the damage. | WESTWOOD John James (I2211)

| 2354 | In March 1954, the JENKIN family of William Leonard, Freda Mary 'Pixie' and their daughter Penelope Mary were caught up in a near tragedy on the Mediterranean Sea. They were travelling home from Singapore on the 'Empire Windrush' (a vessel of some notoriety) when there was an explosion in the engine room which eventually caused the ship to sink. Penelope had to be dropped into the water between a lifeboat and an oil tanker which had come to the rescue. She was safely pulled out of the water and the family was taken to Algiers where they were met by Lady Mountbatten who was handing out food and clothing to the rescued. The Royal Navy aircraft carrier 'Triumph' took them on to Gibraltar. | ROWLING Freda Mary (I46307)
